After Bello Sheriff’s statement comparing military rule with Tinubu’s administration, another user responded: “I prefer military regime.”
This kind of remark is short-sighted and dangerous. While frustration with governance today is understandable, wishing for a military regime ignores the painful history of dictatorship in Nigeria — a time marked by censorship, human rights abuses, and lack of freedom. Military rule is not the solution to poor leadership; it only replaces one problem with a worse one. True progress comes through democratic engagement — demanding accountability, voting responsibly, and pushing for reforms — not by glorifying an era that suppressed citizens’ voices.
